Meijer Inc., the Grand Rapids, Mich., retailer that is opening its first stores in Wisconsin this summer, has purchased a mall in Sheboygan and eventually plans to open a store there, the company said Friday.

Executives at Meijer have said they intend to expand in cities across Wisconsin in much the same way the company has grown across similar size cities in its home state of Michigan.

In Sheboygan, the company has purchased Memorial Mall. The 367,000-square-foot mall's tenants include a Kohl's, Bed Bath & Beyond and Hobby Lobby stores.(9)
